4:00-6:00 PM May 26, 2010 @ IDS Compound, Bagumbayan, Quezon City
It could be a simple telephone call, a comment in my blog, a text message, an e-mail, or a conversation, I am always willing to give a Running Lecture & Clinic to any corporate office or group of runners anywhere in Metro Manila and its suburbs. But this time, it’s different because the request came from a runner-blogger who is a close friend. Bards aka Banana Running sent me a text message and it led to the realization of a Running Lecture & Clinic among the staff and employees of IDS (Integrated Distribution System) which is based in Bagumbayan, Quezon City.
The Running Lecture & Clinic was integrated as part of the company’s health and wellness seminar program for its employees. I am also glad that the Bald Runner and its Elite Athletes were there to be a part of this program. Through Ms Tess Baltazar of IDS, the running lecture & clinic was fully coordinated and my team was received properly upon our entry to the compound.
The lecture and clinic were limited to only 2 hours as the window of opportunity for the whole program/seminar. The lecture started on time at 4:00 PM of May 26, 2010, Wednesday in one of the big warehouses of the company. After a short introduction, I delivered my lecture with the aid of the usual Powerpoint presentation which I delivered within one hour. After giving me a surprise award and cash (that goes to the training & support to the Elite Team Bald Runner), my team and host brought the participants at the parking area of the company.
The running clinic started with stretching exercises, then running “drills”, demonstration of running form, and the whole group did some group running at the parking area. The clinic was new to everybody and it was fun for the participants. The group was happy to experience the activity. I hope the running lecture and clinic were enough to “spark” the employees’ interest in running and ultimately, adhere to running as a way to embrace an active healthy lifestyle.
The running community welcomes the IDS Running Club! See you on the road!

BR thanks so much for accommodating us. I’m pretty sure we will soon see more IDS runners at races.

Sir Jovie,
Mr. Jose Ma. Galauran po, 2nd BDM veteran. May I ask po sir kung may fee ang conductiojn of seminar? Kasi po our company Philippine Skylanders Incorporated CBW no 31 NAIA Pasay City is having a health awareness activity, and I as a runner suggested your running clinic and seminar to be part of the said activity. Our management team is asking kung mayroon pong fee? I have opened this up to them because many of my co-workers does not have any activity or lacks the proper knowledge in physical fitness activities. Our Company has a 24 hour operation and without proper physical activity and exercise, many of our co workers is prone to sickness and health problems. Sir they need to be inspired and enlightened because i’m the only runner in our company and i hope i can share the benefits of running as you have inspired me and other runners for a healthy and active lifestyle. You can E-mail us at Jmgalauran@yahoo.com, jai1428@yahoo.com miss janette dequilla our internal auditor for more information about this matter. Marami pong salamat sir at sana po kami ay inyong mapaunlakan.
